I tried 4 or 5 pluginsfor Google reviews. And this one was the only one working fine in my end. I probably tries plugins at a moment when Google was evoluting the API so.... Anyway, it works ! I appreciate the facts it is very well explained for installation and for Google API Setup. Last but not least, a button to test the communication between the API and the website and saving reviews to the database. The style is also very nice, easy to customize. Thank you very much for this one, if i have more reviews i might think to get the pro version.
